Christ came, the Lamb of God

NS986
1
Christ came, the Lamb of God.
Lo! From His piercéd side,
A sin-removing tide!
We’re justified!
2
Christ, in flesh-likeness sent,
Sin condemned in the flesh,
Fulfilled God’s righteousness;
We’re free in Him!
3
Christ, the last Adam, came,
Now our old man is through;
We there “with Him” were nailed;
His death’s ours too!
4
Christ as the true Firstborn,
Died on behalf of all—
Freed from creation’s thorn,
Yes, new we are!
5
Christ, the brass Serpent, was
In serpent’s form, yet pure;
Satan He judged and crushed!
Christ is our cure!
6
Christ, our Peacemaker true,
The middle wall broke down,
All differences are through!
In Him we’re one!
7
Christ, as the grain of wheat,
By death, His life released;
He brought forth you and me;
One loaf are we!
